I read the title of this thread, read the description, and immediately palms became sweaty, my mouth got dry and my toes curled. I can't bring myself to even read about the sounds, let alone hear them. Goosebumps - still. :shudder

There seem to be many sounds that set my teeth on edge.. *maybe this belongs in the OCD thread :lol

1. when a fork scrapes across someone's teeth while they are eating
2. a knife scraping a plate - either to clear it or while cutting something
3. car horn
4. barking dog
5. dentist drill
6. someone sniffling - get a kleenex for pity's sake!
7. whining kids (it drives me up the wall.. it's the hardest part of my job)

the dumbass that just drove by with his car stereo blaring and full of bass. what is wrong with people? :rolleyes

1. Birds in the morning when I'm trying to sleep! Hello, mother nature... this is reality calling..... (honestly, it's my most hated noise)

2. My cats when they go into heat. (Again, they WAKE ME UP!!! LOL...)

3. Anytime I hear an anti-smoking commercial. It just makes me light up in defiance.

One I forgot before is when I am listening to some music quietly, just relaxing and someone comes in the room and starts talking really loud. Even in the morning when that happens, it bugs the hell outta me.

The silent scream in between a childs fall and the really really big cry that follows (it makes me panic)

That little chirp that won't quit till you replace the batteries in the smoke detector

1. The toy in the bottom of my son's toy box I can never seem to find that comes on every time the box is bumped.

2. It's funny dog barking is mentioned here so often because as I am typing my neighbor's is going full tilt. It sets my hair on end. Shadap already!
:angryman

3. When a commercial comes on and it's a hundred decibles louder than the show I'm watching.

People tapping their feet, especially when we're taking a test and they're just wiggling away, shaking the desk,.
